One spring, one Medical Bureau, and more than a century of cures examined under the strictest verification process any shrine has ever run. Everything in our catalog that traces back to Lourdes — the 1858 apparitions, the bureau-recognized healings, and Bernadette herself.

Cases where the documented facts themselves collapsed: confessed hoaxes, planted earpieces, DNA matches, and sleight of hand caught on camera. Every entry here scores below 10% on our facts assessment — the question is no longer whether a miracle happened, but how the story was manufactured.

Bodies said to resist decay — exhumed, examined, displayed, and in several cases quietly assisted with wax. The claim is identical across centuries and traditions; what varies is the documentation, and that is exactly what we grade.

Where the story outlived the evidence. Pre-1900 claims whose documentary trail is too thin to assess — no contemporaneous records, no named witnesses, accounts written generations later. They are kept as stories, not verdicts: the shelf itself is the label.
